Premier League: Matchweek 1 Kit Review

Here we go again…

The 2024 / 25 Premier League Season has now kicked off and just like last season, I will be taking a more in depth look into the Kits each Matchweek.

The current Kit Overview for Premier League is below.

We have seen 53 out of 60 Kits released so far… with just 7 Teams left to release their 3rd Kits.

Matchweek 1 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

  • Kits Worn in Total – 20
  • Goalkeeper Kits – 20

New Kits this Matchweek

Of course all kits this week are being used for the first time this season, more details will appear in this section as we move through the season and new kit looks / variations are used.

Kit Highlights

There was just the one “Kit Mash” up on show, Aston Villa who launched their Away Kit the day before their game at West Ham, went with pairing their new kit with their Home Socks to avoid a clash with West Ham who are in White Shorts and Socks this season.

Chelsea started their second consecutive season with no front of shirt sponsor, no agreement was in place for the deadline to add a sponsor, so just as last season it will be a few weeks before we see any changes here.

Arsenal started the season in an unexpected Goalkeeper Kit, having previously advised that they would use the yellow and pink versions of the current Adidas Tiro 24 template, as well as the plain Black Adidas Orginals shirt as a 3rd Option, it was the Black Tiro 24 that was used in the opening game… could be an interesting season for Keeper Kits at The Emirates, with rumours of a 5th keeper look potentially being used this season.

My favourite Kit Match Up of the weekend was the game between Manchester United and Fulham, and its mainly related to those shorts… their design and look is one of my favourite kit details of this season, so seeing two team in this look was great to see in action in the opening game of the season.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen 15 Home Kits and 5 Away, with no 3rd Kits in action.

There was just the one Kit variations used in this Matchweek

  • Aston Villa, Away Kit with Home Socks

Kit Grid – Up to 20th August

Kit News

Watch this space for upcoming kit news, still a few 3rd Kits to released and a couple of potential 4th Kits, so we will take a look at those here as we move through the season as well as other Kit related news to Premier League teams.

A reminder you can find details of the 7 Different Kit Manufacturers used in the Premier League this season (along with the rest of The EFL Clubs), here.

  1. Hi Gav – followed your excellent content for a number of seasons and tournaments and I look forward to continuing this season.

    As a BHAFC fan, please can you make an adjustment to the home kit ‘graphic’? The wider central stripe doesn’t sit right with me and this doesn’t reflect the kit itself or your attention to detail.

    By no means a criticism as I cannot begin to guess how long it takes you to create each team’s kits each year.

    Cheers, Rich.

    1. Hi Rich – I really appreciate your support and absolutely welcome these kind of comments and feedback, I like to get it right as much as I can!

      For this season I have changed the layout of my Kit Templates, in the main to give me more scope for details within the shirt, however this does leave me an issue with striped shirts and in particular those with a central stripe, like Brighton’s Home Shirt… If there is a central stripe on the shirt I like to work out from there to get the best overall look I can.

      That said, if its not right for a Brighton fan, I will work on what I can do to improve the look as I like to get as close as I can possible get to the actual shirt design… so watch this space and let me know how it looks.

      Thanks again for your message and for following me here over the years, it’s really appreciated.

      Thanks, Gav

    2. Hey Rich – A quick update, I have made a small amendment and added to the below page, left this overview the same in this article for you to compare… I hope this looks a little better?

      Thanks, Gav
